As you may know there will be all member elections for all nine CLP representatives on Labour’s National Executive Committee. Nominations for the places opened at the end of January, and the closing date is on Friday 22nd June. We suggest contacting your branch Secretary and/or CLP Secretary to enquire when your CLP is likely to decide who to nominate.

After receiving 32 applications from Momentum members across the country, Momentum’s National Coordinating group conducted 14 interviews to determine the strongest set of candidates, using a person specification available on the Momentum website. On the basis of this process, and discussions with other CLGA organisations, Momentum is campaigning for the following candidates, all of whom have been put forward to the CLGA. All nine fully support the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, and will campaign for a socialist Labour Government:
